So after Lucas asked them to come to his game, Mike and Dustin not only didn't go, showing Lucas that a role-playing game is more important than him, replaced him with his little sister, showing him that he is replaceable, but also didn't even tell him they were doing it??

I like to think that Craig tries convincing himself or others that he doesn't give a fuck about anything or anyone but then gets deeeeeeeeply attached to things (like stripe and tweek and other stuff)

i feel bad for everyone saying nolan can’t get a redemption arc or that he’s gonna be some big final antagonist

his redemption arc is a huge part of the plot of the comic guys they can’t not do it. Doesn’t mean anyone needs to like him or anything but yea don’t worry he’s gonna pay in his own blood for his crimes. mark got his proneness for getting his ass beat from his father

just bc im a lesbian doesnt mean tht i wont at times become deeply entranced with the beauty of male actor or character. it just means i wld rather be locked in a room with a man with a knife than do anything romantic or sexual with one

potential future tattoo??? (but without words just bc a lot of my planned future tattoos have words and apparently it’s Not Cool to have a bunch of words on your body instead of images)

House MD enjoyers, what are ur thoughts?

trying to make teachers' (global) complaints abt kids theyre supposed to be teaching about "generational politics" and saying stuff like "people always complain about the young generation" is so dismissive and ridiculous. atp yall are being purposefully obtuse. these kids cant read. they cant write. they cant think critically. teachers GLOBALLY are begging parents to care, to no avail. kids dont respect their teachers, they dont respect their schoolwork, they dont respect their education, theyre severely behind across the board. to try and write that entire problem off as "complaining about the young generation" is so dismissive i have no words. obviously its the fault of the kids' parents but we are looking at an entire generation of people who are graduating high school with no skills. these people are joining society and dont know how to think. yall should be furious and instead youre trying to write it off as "hating on gen alpha". please get over yourselves

i feel like some artists who like working with text + drawing don't realize that writing letters is also drawing.

words are made up of marks and shapes; text is as much a part of the image as the drawing, even if we classify it differently. you Can write your text in the same style you might use to write a grocery list, but i think it's a missed opportunity...

Just like you can practice to improve your drawing skill and cultivate an art style through referencing various things, you can practice to improve your handwriting-for-art and eventually develop a coherent writing style. the best part is that artistically treated type doesn't need to be "beautiful" or legible, just expressive and tuned to your general artistic goals.

in this way, text is a powerful tool for expressing your creative vision!

not me STILL mad about the fact that the OFFICIAL skyrim tarot deck refers to the College of Winterhold as the Mages Guild. Like there are so many things wrong with the deck (especially it's character choices) but COME ON???? MAGES GUILD??? even IN skyrim it's recognized as an entirely different organisation!! how do u fuck up that badly????

This is just a little post cause I updated the art in this pic and the original post. Because lighting and color make a huge difference. This is just for art people to see a difference

I was wondering if there are any rare happy ritsu moments in ur zombie au since hes always miserable I think,, like is he always miserable or is he happy/not miserable and feeling kinda good sometimes?

VWHDGDGD NO YEAH OFC HE'S HAPPY SOMETIMES im just horrible and enjoy putting him through misery

ive never been able to get a genuine smile to look right on his face in my art style either i think thats part of it. as ive said his face is just built to be mildly uncomfortable and bothered and i lean into it sm it's starting to get kinda funny

but yes ritsu is happy plenty! i think, canonically, he just seems like the type of person to me that tends to turn lemonade back into lemons. he's easy to scare and his first reaction to things is often Dread and Anxiety. he dwells on the negatives a lot and seems to be a "hope for the best, expect the worst," kinda guy, but there's a section in this post abt shigeo always loving the little things in life, and ritsu steadily learns throughout the journey on how to do that and how healing it can rly be. even if he had to grow up too fast during this whole thing and learn things a kid should never have to, the journey also gave him some good insight and lessons in other places! ritsu is smart, he figures it all out

in terms of little things here n there he's the happiest lil guy on the planet when he finds one of his favorite foods—swings his legs while he sits and munches on a kitkat bar like he's got absolutely nothin in the world to worry abt. sometimes mob does smth funny that he laughs at; for the longest time i've had this silly image in my head of mob accidentally knocking down a bucket from a store shelf and it lands on his head and he just kinda stands there and makes noises.when the noises continue out of pure curiosity about the weird echoey quality it's giving them ritsu cannot help but lose it

besides tiny things tho, when tome comes around ritsu in general is a lot happier, just cuz he has somebody to talk to that will actually respond in some way. they're sorta reluctant partners in crime at first (at least on ritsu's end) but over time and over bonding they grow to rly like each other's presence. they bicker constantly but it's almost always fond eventually, and they shove each other and playfight until mob gets antsy enough to get worked up about it. rly, tome is a godsend to ritsu's mental health—after months and months of being effectively alone with his thoughts, he finally has another person to converse with. a person His Age, too!

tome is rly good at knowing when ritsu is thinkin himself into oblivion and she's Also rly good at being the most annoying girl on the planet to yank him outta that and replace any misery with Oh My God Get Off Me You Freak. she doesn't even do this on purpose at first, but over time she learns how to tell when he's thinking too hard and, ofc, she's grown attached and she cares, so she's as obnoxious as possible to lighten the mood

when they find reigen n teru, ritsu gradually gets Much happier still. now that he knows they're safe and the gang is finally back together (and now that there's an Adult present and he can relax a lil and let himself be taken care of) his stress levels r exponentially lowered. having teru back is another instant lift to his mood—im always a big fan of teru and ritsu friendship, and i think adding tome to their dynamic simply makes it more chaotic. truly a trio of the 3 most normal teenagers in existence which will surely bring nothing but good (reigen sweats offscreen)

actually this makes me feel bad for forever torturing him im gonna go draw happy zau ritsus brb ,.,.ok imback <3

vent post vent post. typing it out has healed me somewhat but i feel like posting it anyways

i canceled on going to a con in Connecticut this weekend like… hours before we were supposed to go 🫠 I feel so much anxiety about how i’ve my friends down

but this week really did a number on me, i’m stressed out and exhausted by work, i’ve had to take care of my moms three awful labs this week alone while she visits HER friends out of state. Next week is promising to be even more demanding and i can’t spend my One Day off of work waking up at 6 AM to take care of the dogs, drive 3 hours to Connecticut, spend all day at a convention, and then drive three hours back in the dark. And then work overtime on Sunday. that’s insane.

Sighs. i had these plans before my mom asked me to take care of her three BADLY BEHAVED hyper-active labradors of three vastly different dog ages (17, 6, and 1). But it’s not like i can say no to her when i live in her house rent free cause im broke as hell. And I’m happy to shoulder that (eldest daughter disease) if it means my mom can l have fun every once in a while, cause she works all the time. but also her dogs are so badly behaved cause she’d rather do yard work in her free time than train them >:(((

the point is. my energy levels are really more suited for cats, and yet i��ve been dealing with wild beasts all week. and i love them dearly, but the dogs were so nightmarish on top of my already panic-inducing work week. like i just won’t fucking make it to Connecticut Inlive my friends but I think if i have to wake up before 10 am i’ll have a psychotic break LMAO
